“Sister, you look so beautiful today, like a fairy! Did you come alone?” Yuan Yicheng didn’t hold back his praise.
Su Zhengxing searched through the crowd for almost ten minutes before finally finding Lin Qiao. The first thing he heard as he pushed through the crowd was this little brat praising his girlfriend as a fairy.
“Thank you.”
He put his arm around Lin Qiao’s shoulder from behind, thanking him on her behalf.
Yuan Yicheng’s face stiffened for a moment at his gesture, but seeing that Lin Qiao didn’t seem uncomfortable, he quickly recovered and politely greeted, “Hello, Professor Su.”
“Yes, hello.” Su Zhengxing responded to his greeting.
“So, you came with Professor Su, Sister.” He took a deep breath, as if trying to compose himself.
Yuan Yicheng had previously bumped into her and Su Zhengxing together. Although there was really nothing between them at that time, this prior knowledge greatly reduced the embarrassment of being caught again.
“Then we won’t disturb your work. You go ahead with your work.”
More and more tourists were gathering toward the central square stage. Lin Qiao, afraid of disturbing Yuan Yicheng, prepared to leave with Su Zhengxing.
Yuan Yicheng reached out to stop her: “Sister, there will be even more people later. Do you have seats for the inner area?”
Lin Qiao had already asked. Half of the inner area tickets were given away through a Weibo lottery. The remaining tickets that could be purchased were also pre-ordered and sold out long ago. People like them, who came on a whim, could only stand in the outer circle if they wanted to watch the performance.
“I heard from the supervisor that there are some empty seats in the inner area. Shall I take you there?” Yuan Yicheng said enthusiastically.
“Is that alright?” Lin Qiao asked happily.
“Of course.” Yuan Yicheng laughed heartily.
Wearing a staff uniform, Yuan Yicheng easily led them to a seat on the side of the stage. Although it was a side seat, it was very close to the stage, offering a clear view of the performance.
“Thank you so much, Yuan Yicheng! I’ll treat you to a meal another day!”
Lin Qiao was so happy that she tried to pull Su Zhengxing to sit down, but after sitting down herself, she realized that all the seats next to her were occupied.
“Unfortunately, there’s only one seat left.” Yuan Yicheng said apologetically to Su Zhengxing.
Lin Qiao sat on the bamboo chair, unsure whether to get up or stay seated.
The view from this seat was really good, but it didn’t seem right to leave Su Zhengxing standing alone in the outer area for two hours to watch the performance, especially since she was the one who dragged him here.
After much deliberation and struggle, Lin Qiao finally decided to get up from her chair.
She had just stood up when Su Zhengxing put his arm around her shoulder and pressed her back down.
“Sit down. I’ll wait for you over there.”
“No need, I…”
She wanted to refuse, but Su Zhengxing pinched her cheek: “You know, I’m not actually that interested in this kind of thing.”
“Then, go find a seat in the shop next door and wait for me. I’ll come find you after I’m done looking around.” Lin Qiao pulled his hand.
“Okay.” He smiled gently.
Lin Qiao didn’t know that the seat Yuan Yicheng had found for her was reserved for staff in the park; it was his own seat. However, Su Zhengxing noticed.
